Barley Grass Powder
Barley grass, Hordeum vulgare L., is a powerful superfood packed with an abundance of essential nutrients! Because of the diverse nutrient profile, the high-potency green has been used for medicinal purposes for centuries. Our 100% natural and organic barley powder is sustainably sourced from the young, ripe leaves of the sprouting barley plant, raised in organic pastures in Canada.
Look no further for a small but concentrated source of fibre, vitamin C, magnesium, iron as well as a range of phytonutrients and antioxidants (Source: Agriculture Journals).
Is Barley Grass gluten-free?
Yes, this juice powder is certified gluten free and is suitable for those following a gluten-free diet.
What is the difference between Barley Grass and Wheatgrass?
Barley grass and wheatgrass are similar in their nutritional profiles, however, they differ in one simple category - the source from which they are harvested. Barley grass powder comes from barley grass, and wheatgrass powder from, you guessed it, wheatgrass.
How is Barley Grass Powder made?
Barley grass powder is made by harvesting the young, ripe leaves soon after they have sprouted. They are then freeze-dried and pulverized into a powder using delicate processes all the way through.
Key Health Aspects of Barley Grass
Our barley grass range is organic and 100% natural, non-GMO, and contains no additives or preservatives. The barley leaves are dried and delicately ground into a very fine powder, in a way that best protects the following nutrients:
- Fibre
- Iron
- Vitamin C
- Chlorophyll
Insoluble fibre
Our organic barley grass powder is made up of 49% fibre, a value that is much greater than most barley grass extracts. Juicing is typically used to remove the insoluble fibre from the leaves during processing. We do not employ this method and instead choose to keep the fibre content intact. We cannot digest this form of fibre, and so it can contribute to improved digestion, reduced cholesterol, and suppression of hunger.
Iron
Barley grass is a natural source of iron, a crucial mineral that many people do not get enough of. Iron is a mineral that is incorporated into hemoglobin, the oxygen-transport cells of our body. It is essential for the efficient delivery of oxygen to all tissues and thus, energy production.
Vitamin C
Just one small teaspoon of our wholesome barley grass powder will provide more than twice your daily vitamin C needs, an essential water-soluble vitamin that acts as an antioxidant in the body. Vitamin C may also help to reduce the duration of colds. And while it may not reduce the frequency of colds among the general population, it has may provide protective effects in athletes.
Chlorophyll
Barley grass is also touted for a range of healthful enzymes and antioxidants, such as chlorophyll. This is a pigment that is only found in plants and is required to produce nutrients through photosynthesis. While humans cannot use it for the same reasons, chlorophyll may help to detoxify harmful substances in the body, skin repair, blood sugar control, and oxygen delivery.
